Garrett OK with Choice autograph request

IRVING – Jason Garrett said Monday he would talk to Tashard Choice about asking for Michael Vick’s autograph after Sunday’s game, but the Cowboys interim coach made it clear he isn’t upset that Choice made the request.

“After games a lot of guys have gotten a chance to know each other through the years, whether they played against each other or with each other in college, or have gotten to know each other in the offseasons, whatever the case may be,” Garrett said. “Michael Vick is certainly one of the marquee players in this league.”

Garrett indicated that it would be wrong to suggest that Choice’s request is a sign that the player takes losing lightly.

“I know how he prepares and how he feels about playing football and the passion with which he plays,” Garrett said. “So anything beyond that I don’t really want to comment on. He goes about it the right way and we’re glad that we have him on our side and we’re glad that he takes the approach that he does.”
